Welcome to Troop 179 New Fairfield

Welcome to Scouting America Troop 179!

New Fairfield, Connecticut | Adventure • Leadership • Service

Troop 179 is a Scout-led troop for girls dedicated to adventure, friendship, leadership, and community service.

Our Scouts don't just learn about leadership — they practice it! Through outdoor adventures, camping, hiking, community service projects, and exciting challenges, our Scouts develop confidence, independence, teamwork, and skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

Adventure Is Our Classroom

From weekend campouts and wilderness adventures to summer camp and high-adventure experiences, Troop 179 believes some of life's greatest lessons are learned outdoors.

Our Scouts develop outdoor skills, learn to overcome challenges, and discover what they're capable of accomplishing.

Led by Scouts, Supported by Adults

At Troop 179, our Scouts take an active role in planning meetings, organizing activities, leading patrols, and making decisions.

Our trained adult volunteers provide guidance, encouragement, and a safe environment where young leaders can grow.

Service to Our Community

Giving back is an important part of who we are. Through conservation efforts, community improvement projects, fundraising activities, and service opportunities, our Scouts learn the importance of helping others.

The Trail to Eagle

Troop 179 proudly supports every Scout's advancement journey, from their first steps in Scouting through the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout.

We celebrate individual achievement, teamwork, perseverance, and the determination to make a difference.
